I assume you did try rebooting and unplugging and replugging your
modem after each
sudo -i
cd …/guix
./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm


It seems you are using a Huawei modem like me.  For me my
old /var/log/messages contains these consecutive lines on one boot:

Jun 26 13:31:50 localhost ModemManager[16847]: <info>  Couldn't find support for device at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:16.0/0000:03:00.
0': not supported by any plugin 
Jun 26 13:32:04 localhost ModemManager[16847]: <info>  Creating modem with plugin 'Huawei' and '5' ports


Normally only the second line appears.

Can you try using the attached patch *in addition to* the second patch
0001-gnu-network-manager-Add-ppp-input-configure-flag-and.patch
so /var/log/messages contains debug info on the ModemManager plugins?

When I reconfigure with this, reboot, wait for everything to start and
then plug in the modem, these are the messages I get from
ModemManager: <https://pelzflorian.de/files/messages.txt>
Yours must be different at some point if it does not work.

Florian
